Problem with Involuntary dialup of ISP -winxp

After upgrading from WinME to WinXPHome my home computer dials a number from
time to
time without any direction from me. I assume it's dialing my isp for some
reason. Never did that until upgrade. I have a Dell
Inspiron 8100 and Dell has been no help. Anybody know what I can do to
find/eliminate this? Dell directed me to MS Config and disabled some items but
it still does it.I have tried to write down the times of day but so far no
consistent pattern. Thanks for help. Sam

You should go ask this question in a newsgroup that deals with Microsoft.
This one deals with the X11 Windows System used on Unix and Linux.

You might also google "msconfig dialup"

It's just reporting your actions back to Big Brother Bill.
Don't worry about it. Just relax and look at the pretty
pictures. And remember, turning off your telescreen is
thoughtcrime.

Your question is off-charter for this group. You might get
better results posting your question to a Windows group.
Try comp.os.ms-windows.surveillance. 1/2 :-)
